‘What happened to you?!?’

That was my favorite quote from my office holiday party last night! I guess several of my co-workers had no idea that I was pregnant. For a little background- I work in our DC office and we outgrew our floor space so they moved part of the office down a few floors. Then in August, we acquired another company who is located out in Virginia. I feel I have seen a lot of the out-of-the-know co-workers on a regular basis and I feel like it is obvious that I am expecting but I guess they are either clueless, not observant, thought I was just putting on a few pounds (there were jokes last night about how it must have been that I got married and ‘let myself go’) or just not up on the office gossip. Highlights from the evening:

My boss sang and has a great voice (besides being the boss he is also in a band)!

A work Thanksgiving

Today we had our office Thanksgiving and I am stuffed! There was some delicious food from my co-workers. I have never been a fan of turkey, usually I just eat all the yummy sides for Thanksgiving dinner, and today did not disappoint with the side dishes. I got assigned a dessert so I made a pumpkin pound cake- easiest recipe- and it turned out really good. The award for best side goes to the spirited sweet potato casserole.

Here are a few photos from the lunch:
